God Always Keeps His Promises

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.”

In the book of Acts, Peter delivers a promise to the people directly from God. Most people are familiar with verse 38, but not necessarily the one that comes after. He was talking about salvation and how it is available to everyone.

Many things in our lives are temporary; we just don’t always know it. Jobs that seem permanent go away when the economy gets bad. Love relationships go sour. Unfortunately, it is the nature of this world.

God is not of this world. He created this world. His son, Jesus, came to let us know how much we are loved by the Father. Part of that love comes in the form of promises.

But, how many of us actually believe them? Living this life can make you cynical and untrusting of those who make promises – even God. But, the Father is patient with us. Because He is God, He cannot lie to us like other humans can and do.

In the promise above, when you call on God through repentance and participate in the act of baptism, the Holy Spirit will inhabit your soul and guide your life. You will be in the palm of His hand where no one can steal your joy or your salvation unless you let them.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

- R. Kelso Carter, 1886

I lost my nursing job after 6 months of trying to struggle to hold onto it. I had offered it up to the LOrd at a retreat, telling Him that if it was hIS WILL TO TAKE IT TO PLEASE DO SO AND WITHIN THE WEEK IT WAS GONE.I have been trusting in Him to help me find another job more suited to my physical abilities. He has provided me with plenty in the way of unemployment insurance to meet my every need. I look daily on the internet for jobs and have applied for several but to no avail so far. I know He is holding me in the palm of His hand and that He will prepare the way for me.He has never forsaken me in any of the other trials I have met with in my life and He is not about to now.I continue to Cling to my verse Jer 29:11 and take it one day at a time with my eyes fixed on Jesus.
